These commands are being sent periodically in a loop. After sending
few command , the scripts throws the following exception:
write(spawn_id=]: broken pipe

This tells you one thing: the telnet process has died. From there, you
should investigate:

(1) Which side broke the connection first (use WireShark on your
windows machine, or a tcpdump/tethereal on the unix one).

(2) If the first F packet comes from the remote host, what happened
there (the in.telnetd and children). I don't know FreeBSD but if there
were something like strace(Linux) or truss(Solaris), I'd try it.
